Can cycling begin again after Armstrong?
Lance Armstrong has officially been stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and been given a life ban by the International Cycling Union (UCI). The UCI, based in Aigle, ratified the sanctions which had been imposed by the United States Doping Agency at a press conference in Geneva hosted by its president Pat McQuaid. These followed a USADA report which alleged the now retired American rider had been involved in the “most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme sport has ever seen.” The report was published earlier this month. WRS’s Pete Forster speaks to Reuters sports reporter Brian Homewood, who was at the conference.
